All toned and some with light handling marks, otherwise as struck, a very significant set of the highest rarity £600-£800 --- Provenance: Professor John Rimington [Decimal Currency Committee], 1963; Spink Auction 124, 18-19 November 1997, lot 2263; Joanna Tansley Collection, DNW Auction 67, 28 September 2005, lot 417; DNW Auction 75, 26 September 2007, lot 594 The trials in this lot were among the actual pieces circulated at meetings of the Decimal Currency Committee by Sir Jack James, CB (1906-80), Deputy Master of the Mint, in order to aid discussion of possible options. Following the publication of the report of the Committee the pieces were retained by John Rimington, the Committee’s assistant secretary, until being placed on the open market in November 1997. Only two other sets with comparable status exist in private hands. The Two Pence and Penny in this set are identical in composition, size and weight to the present pieces and they can thus be regarded as the unique lineal ancestors of today’s decimal bronze coins. This set represents the coinage actually recommended by the Committee in their report, it being a ‘given’ that the florin and shilling had to retain their existing size, shape and value at 10p and 5p respectively, while the weight of a 20p was similarly a ‘given’ although the large size of the coin was seen as a disadvantage. With this in mind the Committee asked the Mint to produce a stubbier 20p blank of the same weight, but was repelled by its appearance and, aided by the complete indifference of Sir Jack James to such a thick coin, the matter was quietly dropped.

Eadmund (939-946), Penny, Two Line type [HT 1], Cenberht, eadmvnd rex, around small cross, rev. cenbe rht mo in two lines divided by three crosses, trefoil of pellets above and below, 1.65g/9h (CTCE –; SCBI BM –; N 688; S 1105). Pierced, otherwise good very fine and toned; this moneyer rare, and seemingly unrecorded for the horiztonal trefoil type under Eadmund £200-£260 --- Provenance: Barry Cooke Collection The moneyer Cenberht (or Coenbeohrt) was active under Æthelstan, striking in the two-line type and circumscription cross pennies with a Shrewsbury mint-signature. Previously, it seemed as if he then entered a hiatus before returning to strike coins of the Horizontal Rosette type introduced at Mercian mints part way through Eadmund’s reign. The present coin, which appears unrecorded in the standard references, indicates that Cenberht continued in the role of moneyer at the beginning of Eadmund’s reign.

Virtually as struck, of the highest rarity and believed the only specimen known £200-£260 --- Provenance: DNW Auction 27, 1 October 1996, lot 559 (part); Joanna Tansley Collection, DNW Auction 67, 28 September 2005, lot 427; DNW Auction 75, 26 September 2007, lot 589 Although this piece resembles the style of the 1963 series trials, the weight bears no relation to any of the pieces in it. The vendor in 2005 was of the opinion that it may owe its existence to the fact that the shape of the 50p coin was the subject of considerable debate. In the appendix to the government report, Decimal Currency in the United Kingdom (HMSO, 1966), the suggested size for the 50p was circular and 30mm; perhaps this piece dates to that time.

Kings of Mercia, Berhtwulf (840-52), Penny, an irregular issue struck from engraved dies, berhtvlf rc, small diademed head right breaking inner circle, rev. [–]hhvvllf[–], crude cross moline with pellet in each angle, 0.96g (Naismith –; N –; cf. S 935). Irregular flan, of crude and barbarous style, fine and most unusual £600-£800 --- Provenance: Found near King’s Lynn, 2023 The dies used to strike this coin cannot easily be associated with the mint of London on account of their crude style and blundered legends. Instead, there is a temptation to associate this penny with the disruption caused by the military actions of the Vikings throughout the middle decades of the ninth century. At first, these incursions were occasional and opportunistic (with London being sacked in 842 and 851); later, after the ‘Great Danish Army’ arrived in 866, the campaigning became continuous and the heathens proved a constant and relentless threat to the English kingdoms. The camp at Torksey used by the Vikings to over-winter from 872 to 873 appears to have been the site of coin production. Numismatic finds from Torksey include two lead trial strikings produced from imitative and blundered dies copying a Solidus of Louis the Pious and a silver Penny of Burgred respectively.

Lot 107
A New Baronial Penny from the mint of ‘Alve’ Stephen (1135-1154), Baronial Issues, Penny, Profile/Pellets-in-Crescents type, Alve?, uncertain moneyer, +[–]sefe[–], small bust right holding sceptre, ornamental s with large crescent-shaped serifs, rev. +[–]d o[–] o alve:, long cross with saltire imposed over centre, pellet and pellet-in-crescent motif in each angle, ornate annulet-like o and chevron-barred a, 1.04g/5h (Mack –; cf. N 949). Peripheral weakness and with a few light marks consistent with being a field find, otherwise very fine, the portrait well struck up and of singularly elegant style and with an unrecorded mint-signature; excessively rare thus, and presumed UNIQUE £5,000-£6,000 --- Provenance: Found near Bossall (North Yorkshire), January 2023 (EMC 2023.0038) Presented here for sale is a most unusual penny of the twelfth century. Struck from dies of accomplished workmanship and incorporating what appears to be a previously unattested mint signature, the coin in question is of great numismatic interest. Before turning to the matter of attribution, it is first appropriate to highlight several of the coin’s more irregular stylistic features. The bust is well-sculpted with a heavy jowl and a large almond-shaped eye; the reader’s attention is drawn in particular to the rendering of the figure’s ear, a most unusual feature for this period. Further, both legends (obverse and reverse) make use of ornamental letters: the S in the king’s name is formed of a snaking body with large crescent serifs, while the A on the reverse is chevron-barred, and separated from the preceding text by an ornamental annulet. These characteristics result in a coin of distinct style and artistic quality, struck from dies which bear little resemblance to those produced at the ‘official’ Fitz Otto workshop in London. During this period, the use of ornate letters and decorative ornaments is usually associated with the Baronial coinage and the employment of Flemish or European moneyers, evidenced most clearly in the York group. This arrangement, when considered alongside the mint-signature, suggests a context outside of the normal mechanisms of coin production. In turn, this recalls William of Newburgh’s description of monetary disorder during the Anarchy: ‘in England there were in a sense as many kings, or rather tyrants, as there were lords of castles. Each minted his own coinage, and each like a king had the power to lay down the law for his subjects’. On account of its reverse type, there is an initial temptation to associate this coin with the ‘Pellets in Annulets’ coinage struck under David I as king of Scotland (Stewartby Gp IVc). While certainly plausible, such an assumption seems far from certain. Stylistically, the coin is both distinct from, and far superior to, the Sterlings produced at the mints under David’s control. Further, the coin appears to have been struck to a lighter weight standard than that employed for the early Scottish coinage (which consistently produced Sterlings of around 1.40g). It should also be noted that the mint reading alve (taking the preceding character to be an ornamental annulet) finds no find match in the Scottish series. While it is true that this signature is also unattested south of the border, and that both scenarios require us to propose a new mint-place, it seems more likely that a temporary mint would be located in England; at this time Scotland’s coinage was in its infancy with production focused on a select few locations, whereas in England the system of small (and sometimes occasional) provincial mints was, by this point, firmly established. In addition, it is worth remembering that the ‘Pellets in Annulets’ type employed by David was actually copied from the English coinage; introduced under Henry I (types 8 and 12), the type’s use was continued for select southern Baronial issues during the Anarchy, including a curious piece which also incorporates the small central saltire seen on our coin (Mack 274). An alternative approach would be to take the coin’s light weight as a cue towards its point of origin. At 1.05g the coin appears to have been struck to the same distinctive weight standard employed for the south-western Baronial issues, including the coins struck under Matilda and Robert of Gloucester at Bristol. Following this thread we can turn to consider the enigmatic mint signature carried by our coin. Domesday Book contains numerous place-names beginning ‘Alve’. Of these, the largest and most significant appears to have been the royal manor of Alveston in Gloucestershire, afforded a value of £60 in 1086. The manor appears to have come into the possession of Henry of Anjou during the course of the late 1140s. Its position before that point is unclear, although being located where it was it is plausible that king Stephen travelled through the estate following his release from imprisonment in Bristol in November 1141. However, once again there are obstacles which prevent this attribution from being accepted outright. One wonders why a coin produced in an area of Angevin control, adhering to the ‘Angevin’ weight standard, would name king Stephen on its obverse? Further, given the discovery of this coin in North Yorkshire, we might expect it to have been struck at a more northerly mint.
